What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am an experienced Global Business Development Manager with over 15 years in digital marketing, e-commerce, and international business development. My career has been marked by a proven track record of expanding market presence and driving significant revenue growth in cross-cultural environments. I excel in building and executing comprehensive marketing strategies, managing e-commerce platforms, and developing international markets.

In my current role at Tsuchiya Kaban, I led global e-commerce and market expansion initiatives, achieving remarkable growth in international markets. Notably, I increased inbound sales by 655% year-over-year and spearheaded a successful US market expansion strategy. My innovative marketing and product strategies have resulted in substantial brand presence and customer loyalty, including the launch of a new Shopify platform and a successful membership program.

Throughout my career, I have built strong relationships with local businesses and influencers, orchestrated successful retail launches, and developed localized content strategies. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive business success and am eager to contribute to a dynamic team focused on growth and innovation.
